... although you'd hardly be blamed for thinking it what with it being a month since I last spoke to you. In that space of time I've taught 64 primary school children to bake bread rolls (great fun but I'm so glad I don't work in school for a living any more), been to Hamburg, had a sick parent, helped my lovely daughter knit two pairs of cosy socks for Christmas presents for her grandparents (she couldn't knit a stitch when she started so I'm particularly proud of her on this) and looked after the Bran boy who came to stay for Christmas after a long absence from our living room. Oh, and there was Christmas itself which, after all the shopping and wrapping and decorating, turned out to be really quiet what with the sick parent and offspring scattered across the globe (well Stirling and England). Still Mr mak'Bread and I and the rabbit enjoyed the tranquillity of each other's company. We dined on chicken tikka masala (best I could do out of the freezer following last minute cancellation of planned celebrations and Bran munched happily on a carrot. And now I'm enjoying the peace of the days between Christmas and New Year and lunching on my handsome son's Boxing Day leftovers (the bread's not left over, I made it specially to fit his ham!)
